F. When I think of vanquish I am reminded of when I was very little and used toplay video games at my Aunt's house. I would vanquish all the bad guys with what I called then my cool moves. I did a lot of things wierd then, just like right before I would go to sleep I would call in my mom to come vanquish the monsters from under the bed. She would look under and "kill" the monsters so I could go to sleep. She would defeat the bad monsters for me when I was little. (Meg)
G. The word vanquish reminds me of a biography I once read of Tara Lipinski. She was a professional figure skater. The book described her journey to the Olympics. At the Olympics, she won the gold medal at the young age of 15. She managed to vanquish all of the other competitors.
